Recommendation I. Students majoring in subjects of Which Black Studies are a part will be permitted to concentrate in the latter area as an aspect of the work in their major under conditions approved by the departments involved. Specific Elements Since the approach to Black Studies will differ among departments, it will not be possible to spell out in detail the requirements for the different concentrations in this area at this time. If' general approval for the differ- ent concentrations in this area is given to the Committee proposal, individual departments will be invited to establish such requirements as they deem appropriate . Cert ain overall provisions, however, call for general faculty action. �- 3 One such question i s ""hether the minimum requirement for a concent ration in Black Studies should be set as 10", as two or t hree coure,es or as high as six or seven . If 1-:2 limit the question of minimtnn requirements to courses that will be primarily concerned with Black Studi es alone, i t seems unlikely that students could take more than six courses in this area in addition to the ""~rk in their major. On the other hand, anything below four courses ""Quld It therefore seems appropri ~­ hardly be enough to qualify as a concentration. ate, at least for the immediate future, to set the minimum at approximately five courses. Another question is whether the work in Black Studies should be limited to the standard course form or ",hether consi derable diversity should be allowed. Two quite different considerations need to be kept in mind in this connection : 1. In a relatively new area of this s ')rt a certain amount of flexibility 1 !,ill need to be exercised just to get the program off the ground. 2. If the approaches taken by individual departments are not carefully planned and closely moni tored, the '~rk in this area wi ll prove of little lasting significance. The CorrillUttee therefore feels that experimentation with thesis projects, special reading courses, off-campus work-study arrangements and the like should be permitted in this area only "T here there is assurance the "Jork ""rill meet customary standards of the departments involvedo Still another question is whether there should be one or two basic courses which would be required of all students concentrating in Black Studies. Eventually, this might be des irable but it is too early to say whether, for example, a particular course in history or sociology would fill this need. the other hand, since introductory course 'work in a number of departments is or can be limited to one s emester, basi ~ On courses in Black Studies could be rr.ade available to students in t hese dC':partments in the follo"Jing semester of �- 4 - the same year.

St aff Recruitment If students at Swarthmore are to gain a full and balanced under standregul<~ ing of the Black Studies area, it is important that they have access to authorities and observers with black as ~~ll as white perspectives. Since both our students and faculty are predominantly "i'J nite, the Committee believes that black teachers ~Qth black perspective should be given top priority in the staffing of personnel for the Black Studie s program. The problem is that many other ins titutions are planning or have already taken similar steps and the number of qualified black scholars does not even approach the extent of the demand. Swarthmore aggressively compete for these Some argue that if institutions like teachers~ the Negro colleges and other less well endowed schools will be seriously undercut, the net gain of all our efforts comL~ to less than zero. ~~uld The view of the Committee is that a black scholar who decides he be most effective at S"Iarthmore should be permitted to make this choice himself~ and that~ in the long run at least., it ~!()uld be c.dvantageous for all conAt the cerned if the options open to such scholars were many I'ather than few. same time, the scarcity of supply obviously poses a formidable problem and we �- 5 will have to resort to a variety of arrangements in order to attract qualified personnel. pointments Some of the possibilities are pa.rt-time appointments, joint ap~Qth Haverford and Bryn ¥ ~~T, exchange professorships with Lincoln and Cheyney State, and visiting scholars from such institutions as Howard and the New Sdlool for Afro-American Thought in Fashington, Do C.

The faculty deplores the use of force and plans to continue the orderly consideration of the problems to which it was addressing itself when the Admissions Office was occupied. It invites all members of the College community to work toward the resolution of the present crisis. Pursuant to a proposal from the student meeting in Clothier on the same evening, the faculty views formation of these committees (committee on selection of a black counselor and committee to advise on problems connected with admission of black students) favorably and recommends that President Smith meet with the appropriate student groups to work out the details concerning the make-up of the committees, the functions of the committees, the method of selecting, and other relevant topics. The examination schedule will start on January 22 instead of January 20, and an adjusted exam schedule will be issued as soon as possible. (It is understood th~t deadlines associated with the schedule will be adjusted accordingly.)

The College recognizes that it is necessary to maintain a viable black student community. Realizing that such a community ultimately depends on the decision of the students both to enroll and to continue their education at Swarthmore, the College will strive to enroll a minimum of 25 black students in each freshman class. It is hoped that this number can be increased to 35 after a three-year period. That the College vigorously extend its recruitment of the best black secondary school graduates and continue to encourage Swarthmore students to assist in this process. That the College should.: set as its goal the enrollment of a significant number (approximately 10) of black students whose qualifications .are outside normal admissions criteria, for the year 1969-70 . Saturday morning, January 11 (~amended ~ the afternoon of January 12) TheUi~~. ng motion, to establish an Ad Hoc Black Admissions Committee, was made and passed by the faculty.

Such a program shall be designed by the Curr1culum Comm1ttee 1n consultation with SASS. Sunday morning, January 12 The faculty continued its discussion of the SASS demands and the Admissions Policy Report, and took the following action: 1) It resolved that the college enter into negotiations with institutions at present conducting summer enrichment of reinforcement programs for entering freshmen, so that students accepted by Swarthmore for the academic year 1969-1970 who need this preparation may attend such a program. 2) It resolved that the college recruit, encourage the enrollment of, black students from community and junior colleges, and remain open to black transfer students from four-year colleges.

In my letter of Dec ember 31st to the Faculty I asked our entire Coll ege community to con'sider conscientiously and imagin ative ly ' the b es t way to achieve what I believed to be '. I the und er lying conc erns of SASS·::- , and of the Admis s ions Policy Committee. I believe that we have been doing that. Certainly the Faculty, for which I can speak as its presiding officer, has responded in a way that has deepened, if that were possible, my pride in Swarthmore. The Faculty met in long sessions -- last Tues day afternoon, Thursday night, Friday afternoon, Frid a y ni ght , Sat~rday morning, Saturday aft ern oon, Sund ay morning from 10:00 A.M. to clos e ~ to to 2:00 P.M., Sunday afternoon from 3:30 P.M./close to 7:00 P.N., and Sunday night from 8:30 P.f1. to around 3:30 A.M.

I am confident that the Board shares the same values and concerns that have motivated the Faculty in our actions. I feel so sure of the Board's feelings on these matters that I am ready to begin immediately to implement the actions we . have taken. What we have passed is clear to those of us who have passed it, and vJe believe it to be right. to be worked out as we go along, Co m~issiOrt Details will have just as details of our on Educational Policy actions have to .be worked out every day, but I see no probl ems in that if, as I am assuming, \..,e . can work in a spiri t of mutual trust. there Hill riot be any Hho \'li ll seek to SOhT I hope, I pray, distrust.

' � Courtney President/Smith's Statement to the Faculty and Stud en ts of Swarthmore Coll ege presented at 1:45 .p .M. on I) January 1969 in Clothier Memorial Hall Let me say just a few words about what I think we have b een doing. In my letter of Dec ember 31st to the Faculty I asked our entire Coll ege community to con'sider conscientiously and imagin ative ly ' the b es t way to achieve what I believed to be '. I the und er lying conc erns of SASS·::- , and of the Admis s ions Policy Committee. I believe that we have been doing that. Certainly the Faculty, for which I can speak as its presiding officer, has responded in a way that has deepened, if that were possible, my pride in Swarthmore. The Faculty met in long sessions -- last Tues day afternoon, Thursday night, Friday afternoon, Frid a y ni ght , Sat~rday morning, Saturday aft ern oon, Sund ay morning from 10:00 A.M. to clos e ~ to to 2:00 P.M., Sunday afternoon from 3:30 P.M./close to 7:00 P.N., and Sunday night from 8:30 P.f1. to around 3:30 A.M. At about One faculty member reports that his youn gest child did not · recogl1ize him Hhen h e got hom e for a quick meal. 3:20 A.M. this morning Profess~r Alburt Ros enberg rose to h~ I . I I I i I I say that from his supply of thre e buttons carries with him for his lap e l he was going to change to a new one with thJ'ee Hords on it. \lIhi Ie he tried to. find th e but ton, the I I !

I am confident that the Board shares the same values and concerns that have motivated the Faculty in our actions. I feel so sure of the Board's feelings on these matters that I am ready to begin immediately to implement the actions we . have taken. What we have passed is clear to those of us who have passed it, and vJe believe it to be right. to be worked out as we go along, Co m~issiOrt Details will have just as details of our on Educational Policy actions have to .be worked out every day, but I see no probl ems in that if, as I am assuming, \..,e . can work in a spiri t of mutual trust. there Hill riot be any Hho \'li ll seek to SOhT I hope, I pray, distrust.
